A true priest is aware of the presence of the altar during every moment that he is conducting a service. It is exactly the same way that a true artist should react to the stage all the time he is in the theater. An actor who is incapable of this feeling will never be a true artist.
A true artist could and should create till the day they die. You don't ever fail as an artist until you quit being an artist.
There is no substitute for skill. It is the priceless possession of every great artist in every field of endeavor. It is instinctly felt by an audience and is reflected in the superiority of his work
A true artist should have no secrets. On the stage, you must be able to transmit every emotion to the spectator.
Every artist, true artist, struggles with an overwhelming sense of feeling like you're not worthy.
We only live once, since we are given the gift of life it should be our persistent endeavor to immortalize ourselves no matter what field of endeavor we choose.
Mother Nature is the true artist and our job as cooks is to allow her to shine.
Mistakes are made in every other human endeavor. Why should nuclear weapons be exempt?
While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy.
It should be our endeavor to cultivate the peace and friendship of every nation, even of that which has injured us most.
Above all, artists must not be only in art galleries or museums - they must be present in all possible activities. The artist must be the sponsor of thought in whatever endeavor people take on, at every level.
How often I have found that we grow to maturity not by doing what we like, but by doing what we should. How true it is that not every 'should' is a compulsion, and not every 'like' is a high morality and true freedom.
Not every item of news should be published. Rather must those who control news policies endeavor to make every item of news serve a certain purpose.
I would advise puppeteering for any artist. It's a way to break down pretensions. It's a sculpture that can talk. It's a painting that can talk. And it's pure play. I think every artist needs to stay in touch with the idea of playing. The artist should always be playing, always. All art is performance.
Every woman has a mother, and every woman will have an issue with that mother and things that mother did or didn't do. It just depends on how you choose to process the lessons that you learned from your own mother.
The true remedy for most evils is none other than liberty, unlimited and complete liberty, liberty in every field of human endeavor.
